x = 5 def foo (): print (x) if bar (): x = 1 print (x)

I wish you'd annotate this code sample, what do you intend it to demonstrate?

It probably shows the original complaint even more strongly. As for being a problem with the suggested solution, I suppose you're right, although it doesn't make it much different. Still, before a possible assignment to 'x', it should be loaded as LOAD_NAME since it was surely not bound as local, yet.
